Extract text from FlukeView waveform files (FVF)
To convert FVF waveform files to another format, you need FlukeView or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Waveform Data File" file type, you need software like FlukeView or a similar tool.
The .fvf file extension is a proprietary data format created by Fluke Corporation for their FlukeView software suite, including FlukeView Forms and FlukeView ScopeMeter. It is primarily used to store logged electrical measurements, waveform captures, and meter readings directly downloaded from digital multimeters, analyzers, and portable oscilloscopes.
The main disadvantage of the .fvf format is its heavily closed, proprietary nature. These files cannot be opened natively by web browsers, standard data analysis tools, or spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel. Users are typically locked into using specialized, paid Fluke software to read the data, which creates annoying bottlenecks when sharing test results with clients, regulators, or engineers who do not have the software installed.
To analyze the electrical measurements practically, you must convert .fvf files to standard data formats like CSV, TXT, or XLSX. Converting allows the raw data points to be plotted and analyzed in any standard spreadsheet or programming environment, though you may lose specific visual formatting native to the Fluke software interface.
Because .fvf is a closed, binary format, standard online converters usually fail to process it. Often, only the original FlukeView software can properly read or export the waveform data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or data extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FVF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FCA, FEL and MUP files.
If you want to convert FVF file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use FlukeView or similar software from the "Electrical Waveform Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to FVF, try FlukeView or another comparable tool in the "Electrical Waveform Data Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FVF converter.
